Paper

Appropriate for use in any type of home. For optimal health considerations, provide a grate to separate pet from soiled litter. Cover floor with loose product to a depth of 1 to 3 inches. At least once per week, remove all bedding and wash enclosure with a mild soap solution. Rinse cage thoroughly with clean water to ensure the removal of soap residue.

My rats love it

I am new to bedding but, I used to use fleece and the rats would chew it and run under it so, to save time and money I am switching to this. I have tried carefresh in the past and it has a horrible odor to it. Clean and cozy is really soft and it holds up well with odor smell. My rats are doing really well with potty training so, this is working out well for us. They love it I come home from work and they are all snuggled up together on the bedding. Since I started using this I find them using there hide a houses more which is good.

A bit messy

I will probably still continue to buy this because it's a huge bag for the price. Having 2 guinea pigs and a hamster, we go through a lot of bedding. However it isn't my favorite. It resembles tissues. It does stick to the pets and when we take them out of their cages we tend to have this bedding everywhere and it does randomly end up outside of the cages all over the floors. Again, we go through a lot of bedding so for the price we will continue to buy it. I can deal with some mess for the price. The pets do love it. It is soft. No dust. So for the price it's ok. I will disagree with some other reviews , I think it's great on odor control and although it resembles tissues it is not soppy orI will probably still continue to buy this because it's a huge bag for the price.

So this is not a bad product. Its flaw is that it does stick to everything and tends to up everywhere .… more

Usefullness extends to cats too......

I am currently using this bedding material for my recently declawed cat. Yes, I know declawing may be considered barbaric, but my cat couldn't seem to fully retract her (front) claws.
Anyway, this material is clean, soft, and absorbent. She had no trouble accepting the change from litter to bedding. My other cat, who is not declawed also accepts the change of materials. Good stuff, very compressed, and it does take some time to fluff it out -- but it is well worth the effort.

Does not hide odor

By Bunnies2MC
on Nov 6, 2018

I tried this because one of my rabbits disliked the bedding I use for the others. This looks like shredded tissue, you do get a good amount for the price. It absorbs ok but does not hide odors at all. I went through the bag quickly as I needed to use more than usual to have the same effect as the old bedding. I have gone back to using the previous paper bedding as it does a lot better at hiding the litter box smells.

It's great but...

Theres a whole lot. Its gonna last me. But most of it's like tissue paper, which is okay because Chloe, my Syrian hamster, seems to like it. Though, there is some collored stuff in it. Some pieces seem to have like a drop of color on them and sometimes will have a smell to it. And there was some blue crunchy stuff in it. Plastic, maybe? I always put bedding in my box first and then transfer it to her cage that way she can stay in her cage longer and its quicker for her to be put back in (dont wanna stress her out). Anyways, I always take out the crunchy stuff and make sure to keep my eyes open while putting it in the box. Theres also some real big pieces that's like a really thick cotton ballTheres a whole lot.

I usually tear those into pieces. I'm debating on buying this the next time around, but it is fluffy and not hard like other beddings. I might give it another go and see if the next batch will be different.… more

I love this product! I keep my Syrian in a large homemade bin cage which has alot of floor space. This lasts me about a month (I clean the cage every week or so). Its affordable and feels great on his little paws!

Not as "soft" and "comfy" as advertised...

By TheRatDragon

I decided to try this brand out since it's advertised as "comfortable" and soft, so I ordered this for my Double Critter Nation Mouse cages, expecting that it would be nice, pretty, fluffy, absorbent, and comfy. Nice and pretty looking? Check! Absorbent? So so. Fluffy and comfy? Nope! It's not very fluffy at all! The Mice think it's okay but they prefer something like Oxbow Pure Comfort or Carefresh Ultra over this. This is kind of like soft shredded newspaper...Of course I could've just gotten a faulty package, but they just don't seem to like this as much as their normal version. It's not terrible, but I would choose something comfier for your beloved pet. :)

Best Paper Bedding I've Found

I have mice gerbils and rats that use this bedding and completely prefer it to carefresh it's cheaper much softer and hold the odor much longer! I only wish it came in all the pretty colors carefresh does but I still only buy this because the quality is 10x better

Does Not Mask Any Smells

By Nicole4301

I bought this for my rats because I wanted to try something new. I have two and wanted them to have soft comfy litter. Not only was it not really soft and comfy, but it does not mask ANY smells. It wasn't even three days since I changed it and the entire room smelled so bad. I felt awful for the little guys having to deal with it so I switched back to my old litter. I was very disappointed
